Chapter 4 The Young Emperor's Ascension to the Throne is a matter of public opinion
For this sudden change in the court, the civil and military officials and ministers were all stunned and at a loss.
After a while, two warriors walked in with Ding Guan, and it turned out that Ding Guan had just been ordered out by Dong Zhuo and had not been beheaded.
Seeing that the little emperor was made on the dragon chair, Ding Guan held his head high and did not kneel.
Liu Xie wanted to convince the public, so he said: "Lao Ding, I, I know that you are not convinced, and I also know that many ministers in the court are not convinced, because my position was supported by Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo pulled my brother down, and Dong Zhuo is a national thief, and now he has been killed by me!" In order to make you obey me, come to the people, Xuan He's family, and the young emperor Liu Bian will go to the palace! ”
The Young Emperor is the title of the descendant Liu Zhuo, because in history, this Liu Bian ascended the throne at the age of 14 and was killed by Dong Zhuo at the age of 15, but now it is different, Liu Xie killed Dong Zhuo, and the original history has been rewritten at this moment.
He Hou led her son Liu Bian to the hall tremblingly, and when she saw that the nine-year-old Liu Xie was sitting on the dragon chair, she was shocked.
Liu Xie stepped down from the dragon chair, came to Liu Bian, took off the crown with both hands and said, "Hey, brother, Dong Zhuo has been executed, and it's time for the emperor's position to be returned to you." ”
14-year-old Liu Bian is a lot taller than Liu Xie, at this moment to see that the young brother actually took the initiative to give up the throne, he was also very surprised, and was about to take it, squinting at Lu Bu behind Liu Xie looking at him angrily, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said: "The minister is immoral and incompetent, he really can't bear this heavy responsibility, he has to bear the world, and I hope that His Majesty will take back his life!" ”
Liu Xiexin said: Your brother is not stupid, he knows current affairs. But he still said: "Brother Huang, you should take it, don't live up to your brother's good intentions." ”
Liu Wei said again: "No, no, no, Your Majesty, the ministers can't take it, but they lose Your Majesty alone, if you take this crown, you will lose the whole world." ”
Liu Xie put the crown back on his head, sat down on the dragon chair again, and said, "Brother Huang, please get up and give me a seat." ”
Immediately, two chamberlains moved chairs, Liu Wei got up and wanted his mother to sit down, Liu Xie glared at He, his heart was full of anger, but for the time being, he wanted to continue according to the procedure he had arranged in advance.
"You Aiqing also saw it," Liu Xie said, "My brother Liu Wei is unwilling to be the emperor, but it's not that I won't give it back to him." Do you have any other comments? ”
It can be seen very clearly that there are still many ministers who are not convinced, but they don't dare to come out and say it.
Ding Guan said: "The emperor was established by the edict of the first emperor, and you were appointed by Dong Zhuo, the name is not right, and the ministers are really unconvinced." ”
As soon as Ding Guan said this, the ministers immediately began to whisper.
"Justified?" Liu Xie smiled, "Have you seen the edict of the first emperor?" Don't you want to be right? ”
Liu Xie looked around, stood up suddenly, and said, "I will tell you the truth today!" Xuan Jian Shuo! ”
When Liu Xie said the word Jian Shuo, there was an uproar in the court, and He was even more panicked, because Jian Shuo was killed by He Jin, and He Jin was He Jin's brother, could she not panic?
And at this moment, Liu Xie actually wants to announce a dead man to the temple!
As soon as Jian Shuo came to the palace, he fell to the ground and wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have finally become a great treasure, Emperor Xian, you can finally close your eyes!" ”
Liu Xie stepped down from the dragon chair and personally helped him up.
Jian Shuo kept crying and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it, Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xie returned to the throne and said: "Lao Jiao, you can tell everyone, what is the situation, don't tell half a lie, otherwise I will not spare you!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, if the minister tells a lie, he will not die a good death!" After that, he turned to face the ministers and said: "When the first emperor is dying, he will entrust His Majesty, that is, King Chen Liu, to me, and make an edict with me!" ”
After that, he took out a yellow silk handkerchief from his arms and said, "The edict of the first emperor is here!" ”
Seeing that Jian Shuo was about to read the edict, the ministers all knelt down, even the most dissatisfied Ding Guan knelt, but He was still sitting and did not kneel.
Jian Shuo shouted: "Slut, the ministers are all expensive, why don't you kneel?" ”
Jian Shuo actually dared to scold He as a slut, which shows that he hates him to the core, so He saw that no one helped him, so he had to kneel down.
In order to pretend, Liu Xie also knelt down.
But I heard that Jian Shuo began to read out the edict, which is also a partial literary language, and the number of words is not much, which roughly means that Liu Xie is stable and intelligent, but he can take on a big responsibility, Liu Xie is frivolous, embarrassed and embarrassed, and finally he wants to make Liu Xie the emperor and seal Liu Xie as the king of Hongnong.
After announcing the edict, Jian Shuo respectfully helped Liu Xie up, helped him to the throne, and handed over the edict to Liu Xie respectfully, and Liu Xie handed over the edict to an inner servant, so that he could pass it on and let the ministers circulate it to distinguish the truth from the false.
Jian Shuo said again: "Then why did King Chen Liu be the emperor, but King Hongnong became the emperor?" ”
Jian Shuo said, pointed to He with one hand, and said, "It's this slut!" instructed her brother, He Jin, who was a general at the time, to revise the edict and order someone to arrest me and kill me! Thanks to His Majesty secretly saving me today, otherwise, I would have been killed by him a long time ago! ”
After hearing what he said, Ding Guan took the lead and knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty! ”
As soon as he knelt, everyone knelt down, and Liu Xie said: "Aiqing, get up, it's time to know the truth, right?" ”
As he spoke, he patted the armrest of the dragon chair and said, "Who can sit in this seat and who can't, you all understand, right?" ”
He said: "It's nonsense, Liu Xie, it was you who colluded with traitors, harmed my brother, tampered with the edict, and designed to make Dong Zhuo a substitute for the dead, all of this is your conspiracy." ”
"He," Liu Xie sneered, "I knew you would say that, and today I will let you die to understand!" Respectfully invite the Empress Dowager into the palace! ”
The Empress Dowager Dong is the biological mother of the first emperor and the grandmother of Liu Bian and Liu Xie. Back then, Liu Xie's mother, Wang Meiren, had just given birth to Liu Xie, and was killed by He's family. Although the Dong family was the queen mother at that time, she had no actual rights and could not compete with the He family, so she could only take Liu Xie into her palace to raise her.
Eight years later, this year, not only did the Dong family quarrel because of a discord with the He family, but the He family held a grudge and ordered his brother He Jin to take the Dong family out of the palace and kill him outside the palace.
And now the Dong family is not dead!
Liu Xie can secretly save Ding Guan and Jian Shuo, what is impossible to save the Dong family?
So when Liu Xie said the Empress Dowager, the ministers were in an uproar, and He's face was even more earthy.
Dong was in his sixties, and walked up to the main hall with the support of two palace maids, Liu Xie took the lead in stepping down from the dragon chair, kneeling to greet him, and cried: "Imperial grandmother, you have been wronged!" ”
